Argument this doesn´t work. [required: 'android.content.context'

Question

I use this:

actionBar.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.action_bar));

To use colors from the color.xml .

It works great, but in some Codes it says:

Wrong 1st argument type. Found: 'org.telegram.ui.ActionBar.BaseFragment', required: 'android.content.Context'

But I import android.content.Context:

import android.content.Context;

I tried to use instead of 'this':

actionBar.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.action_bar));

But than Android Studio say :

Cannot resolve symbol 'context'

Answer 1

Use

getActivity().getApplicationContext()

instead of

this

Answer 2

Fragment is not a subtype of Context.

When inside of a fragment use this:

ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.action_bar)

When inside an activity you can use:

ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.action_bar)
